For Immediate Release

February 12, 2018

DALLAS–In light of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Governing Board’s vote to approve the recommendations of the Illumination Project, Texas Baptists reaffirms its long-held position on Biblical sexuality and marriage. While we understand the decision-making process undertaken, our position remains unchanged. We believe the Bible teaches that any sexual relationship outside the bounds of a marriage between a man and woman is sin.

Texas Baptists values every human individual, and our churches continue to be loving, respectful and welcoming to all people.
